He’s signed for their equivalent of our u23s. I suggested we take a punt since the only other forward options in the squad beside Vic tend to follow Snow White around. Hope we haven’t missed out on a local lad under our nose.

They signed Sorba Thomas from non league last year. How did that go? Sometimes you take a punt on a free transfer, regardless of what forum gobblers say.

Rangers and Celtic get big gates and merchandise revenue, the chance / guarantee almost of European football and fervent fans, hence they can attract some good talent by paying decent wages etc. Outside of those, the league is poor so It may be that their talented players aren’t regularly in...

Juggy’s off to Huddersfield, no?

He was probably in the stand 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a twist of history - we could have had Clough as manager (who would have probably, well more than probably signed Francis, we clearly had the money) and who knows. Life is a series of fine margin calls.

The difference between this squad and our last Championship squad before we were relegated is, to me, the togetherness and the fact the majority play for each other. Walker looks like he can’t be arsed and Waghorn has ping-ponged between trying too hard and giving up. It’s the Andy Morrell /...

Thought Sheaf dithered a lot and gave the ball away too often; that if he sorted that he’d be a decent player. He sorted it, he’s a decent player.

Yep, agreed. I’d rather have a younger, cheaper (I’d wager), taller striker in Collins than Waghorn who has so far looked totally not arsed. I have this weird notion that a Cov supporter might just throw their head in a melee in the 90th minute if it meant something. If Waghorn could go to...

I don’t know. A young Prem striker who their club desperately needs to get real matches into might come for really low wage contributions.

My shout: Fast tricky LWB like Maatsen or McCallum or similar. Back up centre back in the Fadz mould. Couple of big / strong strikers. One young, maybe one cheap oldie. Waghorn btw was an expensive oldie. Given that Collins’s stock is no doubt low, where’s he going to end up? L1/L2 on...

Finally someone gets the obvious

3 years ago he was 18. Arguably better to play lower league mens football than academy. Some might argue.

Given their predicament (and he being out of contact and local), Hudlin to Blues isn’t that far fetched.

SBT said: What’s happened with Hudlin’s move to Huddersfield that you announced? Do you think we could gazump them if we manage to sell Gyokeres and O’Hare before they get it over the line? That’s a shame for him. All I’ve ever said is that he’s with looking at for the u23’s for development...

Young but with pace. Handy for off the bench if Fadz is flagging and the opposition bring on a flyer.

What do we think?

McAtee, the brother of the Man City lad.

Bidwell isn’t an upgrade in our system to McCallum or Maatsen. We are a solid LCB short. Gyok is incredible at pulling the defensive line to ribbons so we need people in the box who can pounce and finish. Whether blisterfeet is the best in the hole I don’t know, maybe Godden sits deep...

Some kind of Sheaf style loan - buy deal with a load of add one might be the solution. Another good season with over-budget attendances, some TV games etc or a decent bit of player trading in January might facilitate this. I’d have a punt on him.
